cellular
• attachment of isolated keratinocytes to dishes is reduced to about 70% of that of wild-type
|
• topical application of wortmannin sensitizes the mutant, but not wild-type, skin to UVB-induced apoptosis
|
• increase in the number of apoptotic cells in the epidermis
• keratinocytes cultured in vitro exhibit increased incidence of apoptosis in the absence of growth factors
• however, addition of growth factors such as hepatocyte growth factor attenuates the apoptosis
